✈️ Marion County Treasurer’s Office: Real ID Reminder
Are you traveling this holiday season and realized you still need a Real ID? If you missed the May 2025 deadline, don’t worry — it’s not too late to get the gold star on your Iowa driver’s license or state ID if you need it.
Why You Might Need a Real ID
- Required for domestic air travel
- Needed for entry into federal buildings and military bases
- The gold star makes access easier and faster
How to Get Your Real ID

- Walk-ins are welcome, but appointments help us make certain you have the correct documents, serve you quickly, and notify you of office closings due to training or bad weather
